Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy programs address orthopedic injuries, sports-related trauma, and chronic pain through customized treatment plans. Using low-resistance exercises, manual stretching, and advanced techniques like dry needling, we focus on restoring mobility, strength, and function. Each plan adapts to individual progress, ensuring optimal recovery for patients recovering from surgery, workplace injuries, or degenerative conditions.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle tension and trigger points to alleviate pain from conditions like neck pain, sciatica, and migraines. By inserting fine needles into affected areas, we release knots and promote soft tissue healing. This technique complements other therapies to enhance recovery for patients with acute or chronic musculoskeletal issues.
IASTM
IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) reduces pain and improves mobility by breaking down scar tissue and promoting healing. Using specialized tools, we address soft tissue damage from injuries or surgeries, restoring flexibility and function. This method is effective for chronic pain, tendonitis, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Functional Capacity Evaluation
Our Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) assess an individual's ability to perform job-specific tasks safely. Using objective tests and computerized analysis, we determine physical limitations, symptom validity, and readiness for return-to-work. Certified therapists tailor evaluations to job descriptions, aiding employers and healthcare providers in making informed decisions about workplace accommodations.
Job Screens
Job screens evaluate candidates' physical ability to meet job demands, identifying pre-existing conditions and ensuring workplace safety. We offer post-hire and wellness screenings compliant with ADA and EEOC standards, helping employers reduce injury risks and litigation. Testing includes strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular assessments tailored to specific job requirements.
